churchyard, amid many evidences of the widespread respect and regard
in which the deceased gentleman was held. A large number of carriages

of farmers, yardmen and others, who attired to his last resting-place,
the ..of a beloved .in whose service many of them have grown
grey. Some of them have been..the farms, others have served for 25
years and upwards, and the high appreciate of the good qualities of
their late employer expressed by one or two of them was evidently
the general feeling. The procession also comprised the low four-wheeled
carriage in which Mr. Collard was wont to drive in the latter years
of his life, filled, on this occasion with the wealth of lovely wreaths
sent by sorrowing friends and acquaintances. The cortege reached Nackington

churchwarden of that parish, by conducting the services. The attendance

placed in the family vault in which had already been deposited the
bodies of the late Mr. G. P. Collard, his wife, and daughter, also
two children of the late Mr. Charles Collard. Only one of the wreaths
